HUSBAND AND WIFE
DIE IN AUTO CRASH
Mr
ton
and Mrs. Snelbaker of Can-
the Victims—Injured
Eight In Number, Includes
Calvin O. Black, Well-Known
In North Canton—Cars Came
Together Near McDonaldsville
CORONER INVESTIGATING
"Calvin 0. Black's condition is
fair considering his serious condition," was the answer to The
Sun's inquiry at the Massillon
hospital just before this newspaper went to press.
A Buick and a Hudson came together with so much force about 12
p'clock last night at the- intersection
of the McDonaldsville road and the
highway leading into North Canton
that it took two automobiles to pull
them apart and recover the dead and
dying passengers. The cars rolled into the ditch.
The Dead
As a result of the collision, Fremont Snelbaker, aged 33 years, and
his wife Sadie, aged 28, are dead, and
several others are, according to Massillon hospital physicians, "in a serious condition."
The Injured
Bierce Jones of Canton, driver of
the auto which Mr. and Mrs. Snelbaker occupied.
Miss Beulah Archer, aged 21 years,
Canton, injured about the head and
internally injured.
Calvin 0. Black of Reedurban, fracture of the skull. His condition, when
The Sun called the hospital, was"crit-
ical." - / .
Arthur Brownsword, 30 years af
age, Canton, cuts and bruises. His
■ sister, Miss Louise, 23 years old, cuts
and bruises. Bernice Brownsword, 11
years, sister of Arthur and Louise,
head injuries and probable fracture of
the skull.
Mrs. Calvin O. Black, cuts and
bruises. H«r daughter Phyllis, aged
eight, body and face bruises.
"A Horrible' feighl""' ' V
Passing automobiles stopped and
their ocupants assisted the injured to
reach the hospital in Massillon. Coroner McQuate investigated, but ordered no arrests. He said that the accident was in a way unavoidable. The
law governing the stop at the intersection had been observed by Jones,
he said, and Black was on the through
highway.
"It was," said one observer, "a horrible sight." Mrs. Snelbaker died in
an ambulance on her way to the hospital. Her back was broken. Her hus-
ban's neck was broken and his temple
smashed.
The Buick belong to Calvin O.
Black is in the Myers Motor company
yard on East Maple street. It is badly
damaged. After the accident Joe Pur-
key, an employe of Myers, went out
and towed the auto into North Canton.
Black Known Here
Calvin Black is widely known, in
Stark and adjacent countries. He
bought the car he was driving from
the Myers Motor company several
months ago. There is a strange but
true story connected with the purchase of the car. He saw it for the
first time on the highway and determined to own it. He went to Mr.
Myers, but the latter did not want to
sell it. After several more visits
Black secured the car, which was
really a beauty, and was brought here
by Mr. Myers from Chicago. To see
it today one would never thinkit was
originally driven for a short time by.,
a bright anil beautiful woman and
that a certain element of romance is
associated with the car.
Black has' many friends in North
Canton. He is considered a great golf
course architect, and he had obtained
the contract for the rebuilding and
nine-hole addition at Orchard Hills
Country club. On Mondav he was entered from Orchard Hills in the 2Cth
annual Ohio amateur golf tournament.. This Wednesday morning he
was to have resumed play.

AUTO ON FIRE
Told Without
Varnish
If It Hadn't Been For Lincoln and His
Patience and Power the Union
Would Have Been Broken.
By BEN LONG
PRAISING Lincoln for his patience
with General George B. McClel-
lan, and saying that what Lincoln
perceived in 1861-65 all see now; but
what Lincoln did then is something-
unique and unparalleled, the Rev. M.
A. Cossaboom, pastor of the Community Christian . church, preached on
"Sources of Power" on Sunday morning, and he frankly gave it as his
opinion that Abraham Lincoln ranked
next to Jesus Christ when it came to
patience and using the great power
\yithin him.
t t $
THE reverend gentleman's unstinted
praise of the great American was
well deserved, and having known
General McClellan's son when he was
a political writer on the old New York
Sun and afterward .Mayor of New
York, it started me thinking on Sunday afternoon about Lincoln, McClel-
ian and his son. Columns could be
written about "Little Mac"—as he was
dubbed by his soldiers—and ,his son
George and the latter's alleged ingratitude to Charles Francis Murphy,
boss of Tammany Hall. But that is
another story, so this writer will confine himself to Lincoln.
J > t -
Lincoln's Sagacity
Lincoln's proclamation of emancipation has been criticised as only a war
measure, but time has vindicated both
his patience and the sagacity which
rendered the war-measure a true
foundation for the Thirteenth Amendment to the Constitution. Lindoln saw
the great conflict as a whole: others,
perchance, saw it in piece-meal fashion. Lincoln's mind was both analytical and synthetical, whether with respect to constitutional questions or
with respect to operations, in the field.
He was tried as no other President
has been, and he^ was not found panting. His vision embraced the views
of the South as, well as those he
shared with, the North; and it did so,
not only, because.pf his intellectual capacities^ but also because those capacities themselves wefe 'inseparable
from his spiritual qualities. His greatness of soul was a complex of greatness of mind and of heart.

Waco meets the Sweaneys in Witwer park this evening and the visitors
want it understood that the Bakers
will be as dough in their hands before
nine innings is played. This brings a
smile to one Raymond Nelius, and
while he isn't doing any predicting—
he leaves that to the weather man—
he is confident that if there is any
bread making to be done his crew will
do the kneading because they need
the game. Play starts at 5:45.
Play Here Saturday
On Saturday afternoon, beginning
at 2:30, the team representing The
Ohio Power of Canton will play in
Witwer park and this promises to be
a good contest. The Power players
have been more or less—mostly more
—ambitious to put the Bakers in the
oven, and the Sweaneys have an equal
ambition to turn off the power and
leave the Canton crowd yelling for
light. So don't miss this game. Your
money's worth is guaranteed in advance.
On Wednesday, July 17, the Yellow
Cabs of Akron will perform here
at 5:30. The Cabs have been breaking all speed laws lately on the diamond, so it is up to "Pat's" bunch to
hand the invaders a ticket. And this
they promise to do.
Sweaneys Get Blanked
The Sweaneys were a bit off stride
when they played the Merchants at
New Philadelphia, and although
Bowers pitched a good game his team
mates failed to clout the ball when it
was most needed. Even though the
Bakers lost, 3 to 0, it was anybody's
game until the sixth inning when the
Merchants copped two runs. The
Sweaneys worked hard during the
next three frames, and so did the
Merchants.
Glen Warstler made a nice play.
He went back--of third base, caught
the ball and threw a Merchant out at
the plate with the bases full in the
eighth inning. The Merchants did not
score as two of their men were retired at the plate on ground balls and
Bowers struck out the last man to
face him in that frame.

newspaper advertising is the greatest
medium for the promotion of the sale

and the millions of dollars expended
by the Atwater Kent factory in newspaper advertising together with the
great volume of Atwater Kent radio

The Atwater Kent newspaper advertising program for the ensuing-
year has been increased in order to
meet the requirements deemed necessary to promote the sale of one million, five hundred thousand Atwater

v Wood a Great Athlete
Mr. Wood, unquestionably the best
all-around athlete this town has ever
had within its confines, is able to
do all manner of tumbling after he
leaves the springboard. He told this
writer for The Sun that there were
many good swimmers belonging to the
Community Building, and there were
others developing -into line swimmers.
"Everyone ought to know how to.
swim," said Mr. Wood to The Sun
man, "if only as a protective measure.
There is a lot of wholesome sport in
swimming, and while 1 do not encourage anyone with a weak heart to
swim any distance, I do believe that
a limited number of strokes in the
right position help to give a person
confidence."
A Popular Director
Willis Wood has made many warm
friends since he came to the Community Building. His modest and
kindly ways, his helpful courtesy and
his strong common sense appeal to
people. ■ Although a star athlete and
a clever boxer, he never brags about
his ability, and it takes sontet'hing out
of the ordinary to vex him.
As one man said to The Sun writer,
"His general interest in his fellow
men is frequently shown by his active participation in movements he is
not called upon to enter. He is a conscientious servant of present duty and
courageous builder of the young."
FESTIVAL-FIREWORKS
ATTRACT MULTITUDE
Greatest Crowd In the History
of North Canton Enjoy Themselves On Wise Field While
Listening. To The Hoover Band
and Visiting Stands.
THREE AWARDED PRIZES
Received Prizes
The following persons weie awarded prizes at the Legion festival:
Ford Tudor—Miss Viola Shaub of
North Main street, North Canton.
Radio—Sam Stayer, Greentown.
Hoover Cleaner—Mrs. Dunn, Royer
street.
One bf the greatest crowds in the
history of North Canton met..on Saturday night on Senator Wise's field to
witness a display of fireworks, hear
the famous Hoover Band, take part in
the festival and enjoy themselves generally. Men, women and children were
massed around the stands and every
available foot of space on the outside
.was filled with automobiles.
Special policemen assisted the local
police, but they had little to do for
the crowd was in a holiday mood, and
then, too, everybody was a neighbor
and neighbor in The Sun's district
means "neighborly." One of the special cops succeeded iii uniting two lost
children to their parents.
Fine Display of Fireworks
It rained hard late Saturday afternoon and many thought the big show
would be, postponed, but a few minutes after 6:00 o'clock the weather
cleared and the festival began to draw
the crowd. Shortly after 10 o'clock it
began to sprinkle, and the Legionnaires, under whose auspices the "big
time" was held, began the fireworks
display with a series of rockets and
bombs which was followed by the set-
pieces, each accompanied by an appreciative chorus of "A-Ahs."
Several new numbers were introduced, including a reproduction of
strings of electric lights between
glowing stars, at least they looked
that way to this writer for The Sun.
The old favorite, the one with the
American flag floating. ni the air,
made a hit with the crowd as it moved
slowly across the field and headed
north.
The display was concluded with a
series of rockets that sent down canopies of colored comets, and the final
number was the rapid discharge of
the aerial bombs that echoed over the
country and the town. Everyone
seemed well satisfied, the Legion men
in particular, as they were anxious
to please the public.

Card of Thanks
The members of the American Legion Drum and Bugle Corps of North
Canton wish, through the columns of
The Sun, to thank most warmly the
people of North Canton and neighboring towns and villages for their
patronage at the Legion festival on

thank everybody.

It was with deep regret that Ben
Long handed in his resignation as secretary of the Rotary club of North
Canton at the meeting on Thursday
night. The members understand that
Long's nerves need a! little rest, and
that it is on the order of Dr. Cox that
he is "getting from under" some of
his labors. Like the good fellows they
are, the Rotarians accepted Ben's resignation with regret and. then unanimously elected Thomas G: Denton,
superintendent of the public schools,
secretary.
Long will continue a member of the
club, of course, but his newspaper
duties have, been undermining his
health, and so he deemed it advisable
to relinquish some of his work on the
outside and in the office. And believe it or not, Long won't retire until
his friend, Lee T. Lewis, also a Rotarian, takes him for "a ride."

.A SANE FOURTH
No Casualties Reported and Everyone
Seemed Happy.
North Canton and its vicinity celebrated the Fourth of July in characteristic fashion; with a thousand
bangs, most of which came through
the exhaust pipes of the motoring-
public on its way out of town and
back.
Likewise there were fireworks. Little boys and girls who know enough to
put the end of a piece of smouldering
punk to the fuse of a firecracker did
so to the extent of their ability. For
bigger boys and girls there were bigger firecrackers. The most remarkable feature of a beautiful day was
the fewness of the missing thumbs
and fingers as a result of the bombardment.
Perhaps the glorious weather was
responsible for many persons rushing
to the woods and nearby resorts. At
any rate, the festival of noise was
much milder than was anticipated.
■After darkness enveloped the town
the rain began to fall in torrents and
it was accompanied by lightning and
thunder. All in all, it was a "safe
and sane Fourth" and members of
the medical profession, the police department ami the fire department apr
peared to be satisfied with, the way
the day was spent.
A business deal of interest to readers of The Sun is the announcement
that J. P. Surbey and William J.
Shaub have purchased the Quality
Supply company, including the elevator, located near the B. and Ohio depot, Portage street extension.
Mr. Shaub lives in Hartville but
will move to North Canton in September. Both Mr. Surbey' and Mr.
Shaub are widely known in this section, having been born here. Mr.
Shaub worked in The Hoover factory
at one time and he is a graduate of
North Canton high school.
They will buy wheat and they will
carry a full line of Wayne poultry,
dairy, horse and hog feeds, coal and
builders' supplies.
PICNIC SATURDAY'
By URIAS H. REAM
Innocent as he is, this writer had
no idea that he would ever live to see
the time when the punishment of pupils became a matter of exact ruling
and specific regulations. When he
went to school, the nature of the punishment depended on the immediate
circumstances and its severity on the
gravity of the offense and perhaps on
the particular mood that the teacher
happened to be in that morning or
afternoon. Certainly there was no
scientific management about the thing
and no Marquis of Qucensbury rules.
But now it is all changed, perhaps not
everywhere but at least in Miami,
Florida, and environs.
So that teachers may know where
they are at, the Superintendent of
Schools of Dade county, in which Miami is located, has issued certain instructions. Punishment must be administered in. kindness, he says, and
at a period at least twenty-four hours
from the' time of the- misdemeanor.
In direct contrast to the laws which
govern prize-fighting, all blows above
the belt are considered foul. The same
is true of hitting below the knees.
From the belt to the knees is unrestricted territory.
More specifically still, Superintendent Fisher rules as follows:
Supt. Fisher's Rules
"The teacher or principal should,
when administering punishment, use
only such an instrument as will produce no physical injury to the child,
and be applied on no part of the body
above the waist or below the knees.
Striking on the shins, knuckles and
palms of the hands with rulers, or
slapping on the face and head with
the hand open or, closed or with any
instrument are absolutely forbidden.
It must be remembered that all punishment must be administered in kindness and at a time and under conditions when it'is not calculated to produce a rebellious or revengeful spirit
in the child. In every case, remember that "He that ruleth his own spirit
is greater than he that tukcth a city."

quest," a Thrilling Story.
•Coi:-
The
where
Police Officer John Curry arrested
two youths, Gilbert Hoy, aged 17
years, and Noble Dawson, aged 20, on
Wednesday evening as they were
driving-through the Square a few minutes after 5:00 o'clock. They had
stolen a car in Greensburg from Bri-
denthal, took it to Logan, Hocking
county, Ohio, and sold it for $10.
In Logan they stole a Hudson coach
and Sheriff W. R. Lloyd called North
Canton on long distance and told police to be on the watch for the culprits as he understood they were
headed this way.
Hoy, aged 17, escaped from the
Lancaster detention home on November 26, 1928, after serving twenty
months. Dawson's police record, if he
had one, was hot stated.
Escaped Front Logan
The two youths were placed in separate cells in the village hall. On,Friday they accompanied a deputy sheriff
to Logan where they were locked up
in the county jail. On Monday night
Hoy and Dawson (or Donson) escaped
from the county jail after securing
keys from the house of the sheriff,
who was absent at the time. They
also stole two revolvers. Then they
went outside, stole an automobile and
made a quick getaway.
Sitting in their cells in North Canton yesterday the youths said they
were under quarantine as "scarlet
fever" suspects in the Logan jail, that
they pulled a lever and thedpor opened, and that they theii picked a couple of locks and were .soon in the
sheriff's house. They laughed heartily
over the report that they had "scarlet fever."
Caught Again By Curry
On Monday evening Officer John
Curry was patroling his beat on his
motor cycle when he spotted a Hudson car on North Main street. He
chased it for a few minutes and seeing that the driver was "stepping on
the gas," he blew his whistle for the
car to stop but it kept on going. When
he got alongside he recognized the
two youths wanted in Logan. One of
them reached for his hip pocket, but
Curry sternly ordered him to "stick
'em up quick!" Then he took them
and the stolen car to the village hall.
When searched the prisoners had
two revolvers.
Why they should visit this section
a second time is' a deep mystery, as
they do not belong around these parts
and have no relatives here.
Fumigate Cells
Although President of Council
Frank Evans, who is acting as Mayor
in the absence of Mayor Becher, does
not believe the prisoners had scarlet
fever, he ordered the cells and the police room thoroughly fumigated, and
other precautions taken to keep the
disease from reaching the outside, if
disease it was.
A Thrilling Moment
Curry bad another experience with
a stolen car on Sunday night. He had
taken the suspect to the village hall
and wa.s- standing on the running-
board on the off-side when the negro
started the car full ahead and jumped
out through the open door. The auto
was headed straight for Raymond
Beck's dry cleaning office on Portage
street.
Negro Fast Runner
There wa.s only one thing to do, and
Currv did it. He opened the door and
grabbed the wheel and brakes and
brought the ear to a standstill at the
curb. Then lie chased the negro for

two shots over ihe fellow's heat!, but

the Victims—Injured
Eight In Number, Includes
Calvin O. Black, Well-Known
In North Canton—Cars Came
Together Near McDonaldsville
CORONER INVESTIGATING
"Calvin 0. Black's condition is
fair considering his serious condition," was the answer to The
Sun's inquiry at the Massillon
hospital just before this newspaper went to press.
A Buick and a Hudson came together with so much force about 12
p'clock last night at the- intersection
of the McDonaldsville road and the
highway leading into North Canton
that it took two automobiles to pull
them apart and recover the dead and
dying passengers. The cars rolled into the ditch.
The Dead
As a result of the collision, Fremont Snelbaker, aged 33 years, and
his wife Sadie, aged 28, are dead, and
several others are, according to Massillon hospital physicians, "in a serious condition."
The Injured
Bierce Jones of Canton, driver of
the auto which Mr. and Mrs. Snelbaker occupied.
Miss Beulah Archer, aged 21 years,
Canton, injured about the head and
internally injured.
Calvin 0. Black of Reedurban, fracture of the skull. His condition, when
The Sun called the hospital, was"crit-
ical." - / .
Arthur Brownsword, 30 years af
age, Canton, cuts and bruises. His
■ sister, Miss Louise, 23 years old, cuts
and bruises. Bernice Brownsword, 11
years, sister of Arthur and Louise,
head injuries and probable fracture of
the skull.
Mrs. Calvin O. Black, cuts and
bruises. H«r daughter Phyllis, aged
eight, body and face bruises.
"A Horrible' feighl""' ' V
Passing automobiles stopped and
their ocupants assisted the injured to
reach the hospital in Massillon. Coroner McQuate investigated, but ordered no arrests. He said that the accident was in a way unavoidable. The
law governing the stop at the intersection had been observed by Jones,
he said, and Black was on the through
highway.
"It was," said one observer, "a horrible sight." Mrs. Snelbaker died in
an ambulance on her way to the hospital. Her back was broken. Her hus-
ban's neck was broken and his temple
smashed.
The Buick belong to Calvin O.
Black is in the Myers Motor company
yard on East Maple street. It is badly
damaged. After the accident Joe Pur-
key, an employe of Myers, went out
and towed the auto into North Canton.
Black Known Here
Calvin Black is widely known, in
Stark and adjacent countries. He
bought the car he was driving from
the Myers Motor company several
months ago. There is a strange but
true story connected with the purchase of the car. He saw it for the
first time on the highway and determined to own it. He went to Mr.
Myers, but the latter did not want to
sell it. After several more visits
Black secured the car, which was
really a beauty, and was brought here
by Mr. Myers from Chicago. To see
it today one would never thinkit was
originally driven for a short time by.,
a bright anil beautiful woman and
that a certain element of romance is
associated with the car.
Black has' many friends in North
Canton. He is considered a great golf
course architect, and he had obtained
the contract for the rebuilding and
nine-hole addition at Orchard Hills
Country club. On Mondav he was entered from Orchard Hills in the 2Cth
annual Ohio amateur golf tournament.. This Wednesday morning he
was to have resumed play.

If It Hadn't Been For Lincoln and His
Patience and Power the Union
Would Have Been Broken.
By BEN LONG
PRAISING Lincoln for his patience
with General George B. McClel-
lan, and saying that what Lincoln
perceived in 1861-65 all see now; but
what Lincoln did then is something-
unique and unparalleled, the Rev. M.
A. Cossaboom, pastor of the Community Christian . church, preached on
"Sources of Power" on Sunday morning, and he frankly gave it as his
opinion that Abraham Lincoln ranked
next to Jesus Christ when it came to
patience and using the great power
\yithin him.
t t $
THE reverend gentleman's unstinted
praise of the great American was
well deserved, and having known
General McClellan's son when he was
a political writer on the old New York
Sun and afterward .Mayor of New
York, it started me thinking on Sunday afternoon about Lincoln, McClel-
ian and his son. Columns could be
written about "Little Mac"—as he was
dubbed by his soldiers—and ,his son
George and the latter's alleged ingratitude to Charles Francis Murphy,
boss of Tammany Hall. But that is
another story, so this writer will confine himself to Lincoln.
J > t -
Lincoln's Sagacity
Lincoln's proclamation of emancipation has been criticised as only a war
measure, but time has vindicated both
his patience and the sagacity which
rendered the war-measure a true
foundation for the Thirteenth Amendment to the Constitution. Lindoln saw
the great conflict as a whole: others,
perchance, saw it in piece-meal fashion. Lincoln's mind was both analytical and synthetical, whether with respect to constitutional questions or
with respect to operations, in the field.
He was tried as no other President
has been, and he^ was not found panting. His vision embraced the views
of the South as, well as those he
shared with, the North; and it did so,
not only, because.pf his intellectual capacities^ but also because those capacities themselves wefe 'inseparable
from his spiritual qualities. His greatness of soul was a complex of greatness of mind and of heart.

Waco meets the Sweaneys in Witwer park this evening and the visitors
want it understood that the Bakers
will be as dough in their hands before
nine innings is played. This brings a
smile to one Raymond Nelius, and
while he isn't doing any predicting—
he leaves that to the weather man—
he is confident that if there is any
bread making to be done his crew will
do the kneading because they need
the game. Play starts at 5:45.
Play Here Saturday
On Saturday afternoon, beginning
at 2:30, the team representing The
Ohio Power of Canton will play in
Witwer park and this promises to be
a good contest. The Power players
have been more or less—mostly more
—ambitious to put the Bakers in the
oven, and the Sweaneys have an equal
ambition to turn off the power and
leave the Canton crowd yelling for
light. So don't miss this game. Your
money's worth is guaranteed in advance.
On Wednesday, July 17, the Yellow
Cabs of Akron will perform here
at 5:30. The Cabs have been breaking all speed laws lately on the diamond, so it is up to "Pat's" bunch to
hand the invaders a ticket. And this
they promise to do.
Sweaneys Get Blanked
The Sweaneys were a bit off stride
when they played the Merchants at
New Philadelphia, and although
Bowers pitched a good game his team
mates failed to clout the ball when it
was most needed. Even though the
Bakers lost, 3 to 0, it was anybody's
game until the sixth inning when the
Merchants copped two runs. The
Sweaneys worked hard during the
next three frames, and so did the
Merchants.
Glen Warstler made a nice play.
He went back--of third base, caught
the ball and threw a Merchant out at
the plate with the bases full in the
eighth inning. The Merchants did not
score as two of their men were retired at the plate on ground balls and
Bowers struck out the last man to
face him in that frame.

v Wood a Great Athlete
Mr. Wood, unquestionably the best
all-around athlete this town has ever
had within its confines, is able to
do all manner of tumbling after he
leaves the springboard. He told this
writer for The Sun that there were
many good swimmers belonging to the
Community Building, and there were
others developing -into line swimmers.
"Everyone ought to know how to.
swim," said Mr. Wood to The Sun
man, "if only as a protective measure.
There is a lot of wholesome sport in
swimming, and while 1 do not encourage anyone with a weak heart to
swim any distance, I do believe that
a limited number of strokes in the
right position help to give a person
confidence."
A Popular Director
Willis Wood has made many warm
friends since he came to the Community Building. His modest and
kindly ways, his helpful courtesy and
his strong common sense appeal to
people. ■ Although a star athlete and
a clever boxer, he never brags about
his ability, and it takes sontet'hing out
of the ordinary to vex him.
As one man said to The Sun writer,
"His general interest in his fellow
men is frequently shown by his active participation in movements he is
not called upon to enter. He is a conscientious servant of present duty and
courageous builder of the young."
FESTIVAL-FIREWORKS

Greatest Crowd In the History
of North Canton Enjoy Themselves On Wise Field While

THREE AWARDED PRIZES
Received Prizes
The following persons weie awarded prizes at the Legion festival:
Ford Tudor—Miss Viola Shaub of
North Main street, North Canton.

Hoover Cleaner—Mrs. Dunn, Royer
street.
One bf the greatest crowds in the
history of North Canton met..on Saturday night on Senator Wise's field to
witness a display of fireworks, hear
the famous Hoover Band, take part in
the festival and enjoy themselves generally. Men, women and children were
massed around the stands and every
available foot of space on the outside
.was filled with automobiles.
Special policemen assisted the local
police, but they had little to do for
the crowd was in a holiday mood, and
then, too, everybody was a neighbor
and neighbor in The Sun's district
means "neighborly." One of the special cops succeeded iii uniting two lost
children to their parents.
Fine Display of Fireworks
It rained hard late Saturday afternoon and many thought the big show
would be, postponed, but a few minutes after 6:00 o'clock the weather
cleared and the festival began to draw
the crowd. Shortly after 10 o'clock it
began to sprinkle, and the Legionnaires, under whose auspices the "big
time" was held, began the fireworks
display with a series of rockets and
bombs which was followed by the set-
pieces, each accompanied by an appreciative chorus of "A-Ahs."
Several new numbers were introduced, including a reproduction of
strings of electric lights between
glowing stars, at least they looked
that way to this writer for The Sun.
The old favorite, the one with the
American flag floating. ni the air,
made a hit with the crowd as it moved
slowly across the field and headed
north.
The display was concluded with a
series of rockets that sent down canopies of colored comets, and the final
number was the rapid discharge of
the aerial bombs that echoed over the
country and the town. Everyone
seemed well satisfied, the Legion men
in particular, as they were anxious
to please the public.

Long's nerves need a! little rest, and
that it is on the order of Dr. Cox that

Long will continue a member of the

duties have, been undermining his

.A SANE FOURTH
No Casualties Reported and Everyone
Seemed Happy.
North Canton and its vicinity celebrated the Fourth of July in characteristic fashion; with a thousand
bangs, most of which came through
the exhaust pipes of the motoring-
public on its way out of town and
back.
Likewise there were fireworks. Little boys and girls who know enough to
put the end of a piece of smouldering
punk to the fuse of a firecracker did
so to the extent of their ability. For
bigger boys and girls there were bigger firecrackers. The most remarkable feature of a beautiful day was
the fewness of the missing thumbs
and fingers as a result of the bombardment.
Perhaps the glorious weather was
responsible for many persons rushing
to the woods and nearby resorts. At
any rate, the festival of noise was
much milder than was anticipated.
■After darkness enveloped the town
the rain began to fall in torrents and
it was accompanied by lightning and
thunder. All in all, it was a "safe
and sane Fourth" and members of
the medical profession, the police department ami the fire department apr
peared to be satisfied with, the way
the day was spent.
A business deal of interest to readers of The Sun is the announcement
that J. P. Surbey and William J.

Supply company, including the elevator, located near the B. and Ohio depot, Portage street extension.
Mr. Shaub lives in Hartville but
will move to North Canton in September. Both Mr. Surbey' and Mr.

Shaub worked in The Hoover factory
at one time and he is a graduate of
North Canton high school.

PICNIC SATURDAY'
By URIAS H. REAM
Innocent as he is, this writer had
no idea that he would ever live to see
the time when the punishment of pupils became a matter of exact ruling
and specific regulations. When he
went to school, the nature of the punishment depended on the immediate
circumstances and its severity on the
gravity of the offense and perhaps on
the particular mood that the teacher
happened to be in that morning or
afternoon. Certainly there was no
scientific management about the thing
and no Marquis of Qucensbury rules.
But now it is all changed, perhaps not
everywhere but at least in Miami,
Florida, and environs.
So that teachers may know where
they are at, the Superintendent of
Schools of Dade county, in which Miami is located, has issued certain instructions. Punishment must be administered in. kindness, he says, and
at a period at least twenty-four hours
from the' time of the- misdemeanor.
In direct contrast to the laws which
govern prize-fighting, all blows above
the belt are considered foul. The same
is true of hitting below the knees.
From the belt to the knees is unrestricted territory.
More specifically still, Superintendent Fisher rules as follows:
Supt. Fisher's Rules
"The teacher or principal should,
when administering punishment, use
only such an instrument as will produce no physical injury to the child,
and be applied on no part of the body
above the waist or below the knees.
Striking on the shins, knuckles and
palms of the hands with rulers, or
slapping on the face and head with
the hand open or, closed or with any
instrument are absolutely forbidden.
It must be remembered that all punishment must be administered in kindness and at a time and under conditions when it'is not calculated to produce a rebellious or revengeful spirit
in the child. In every case, remember that "He that ruleth his own spirit
is greater than he that tukcth a city."

•Coi:-
The
where
Police Officer John Curry arrested
two youths, Gilbert Hoy, aged 17
years, and Noble Dawson, aged 20, on
Wednesday evening as they were
driving-through the Square a few minutes after 5:00 o'clock. They had
stolen a car in Greensburg from Bri-
denthal, took it to Logan, Hocking
county, Ohio, and sold it for $10.
In Logan they stole a Hudson coach
and Sheriff W. R. Lloyd called North
Canton on long distance and told police to be on the watch for the culprits as he understood they were
headed this way.
Hoy, aged 17, escaped from the
Lancaster detention home on November 26, 1928, after serving twenty
months. Dawson's police record, if he
had one, was hot stated.
Escaped Front Logan
The two youths were placed in separate cells in the village hall. On,Friday they accompanied a deputy sheriff
to Logan where they were locked up
in the county jail. On Monday night
Hoy and Dawson (or Donson) escaped
from the county jail after securing
keys from the house of the sheriff,
who was absent at the time. They
also stole two revolvers. Then they
went outside, stole an automobile and
made a quick getaway.
Sitting in their cells in North Canton yesterday the youths said they
were under quarantine as "scarlet
fever" suspects in the Logan jail, that
they pulled a lever and thedpor opened, and that they theii picked a couple of locks and were .soon in the
sheriff's house. They laughed heartily
over the report that they had "scarlet fever."
Caught Again By Curry
On Monday evening Officer John
Curry was patroling his beat on his
motor cycle when he spotted a Hudson car on North Main street. He
chased it for a few minutes and seeing that the driver was "stepping on
the gas," he blew his whistle for the
car to stop but it kept on going. When
he got alongside he recognized the
two youths wanted in Logan. One of
them reached for his hip pocket, but
Curry sternly ordered him to "stick
'em up quick!" Then he took them
and the stolen car to the village hall.
When searched the prisoners had
two revolvers.
Why they should visit this section
a second time is' a deep mystery, as
they do not belong around these parts
and have no relatives here.
Fumigate Cells
Although President of Council
Frank Evans, who is acting as Mayor
in the absence of Mayor Becher, does
not believe the prisoners had scarlet
fever, he ordered the cells and the police room thoroughly fumigated, and
other precautions taken to keep the
disease from reaching the outside, if
disease it was.
A Thrilling Moment
Curry bad another experience with
a stolen car on Sunday night. He had
taken the suspect to the village hall
and wa.s- standing on the running-
board on the off-side when the negro
started the car full ahead and jumped
out through the open door. The auto
was headed straight for Raymond
Beck's dry cleaning office on Portage
street.

There wa.s only one thing to do, and
Currv did it. He opened the door and
